Leicester face battle to keep hold of teenager who scored 41 last season

Nottingham Forest monitors developments with the highly valued younger Lorenz Hutchinson of Leicester City.

The 17-year-old attacker is in productive form for the U18s of Leicester in the past two seasons and the club staff is enthusiastic about his potential and the prospect that they could have another future star in the hands of the Academy.

Discussions took place through a professional contract; However, Mail Sport understands that, with an agreement that still has to be reached, a number of Premier League clubs have been warned by his situation.

Midlands Buren Nottingham Forest belong to those who are well aware of Hutchinson and look at developments.

Many scouts recorded for the first time last season when Hutchinson scored an impressive 41 goals and made 14 assists in 29 games.

This time, even though the U18's of Leicester struggled and finished second of the bottom of the U18S Premier League South Division, Hutchinson still managed to score 12 goals in 18 games this campaign, including a hat trick against West Ham.

Leicester is in the grip of replacing first team manager Ruud van Nistorrooy by Russell Martin.

The former Southampton -Baas will probably lean heavily on the growing Academy of Leicester, especially with possible PSR punishment and limitations that come.

He would be disgusting to lose any prospects, such as Hutchinson who could have an impact at a higher level in the near future.
